Callum Wilson reveals key 'frustration' as Dubai break gives players and staff bonding opportunity

Callum Wilson says being unable to train and play for Newcastle United due to a calf injury is "frustrating" but the Magpies' trip to Dubai has allowed the squad the opportunity to bond.

Wilson has struggled for form this season due to a series of injuries impacting his playing time. A hamstring injury earlier in the year saw him miss four matches, and the 30-year-old is back in the treatment room due to a calf injury which has kept him sidelined since January.

Speaking on The Footballer's Football Podcast, Wilson said: "This is a place where you can work hard but also get some sunshine as well. It's a change in scenery. Whilst the weather in England is hit and miss, i think [Dubai] is a good place to be."
